Rapper fights back after arrest for illegal drugs and weapons possession.

Flip was pulled over and booked on the night of December 25 after cops found marijuana and an AR-15 rifle in his car. But the Houston rapper tells TMZ that he has a valid license to carry the weapon, and that the alleged weed found was really Black and Mild cigars and clove cigarettes.

"I know they don't mess around in Louisiana and I wouldn't do anything to make me go to the big house. Especially on Christmas night," he said in a statement.

Flip says he plans to plead not guilty and will fight the case in court.
